The Impact 50 Round 1 finalists are in, and 2 of my scripts made it.I did three - a poignant, family drama (facing the end together type-thing) didn't make the cut. But 2 did - Psycho Killer, about a psychopath out-psycho-ed, and Elaine about a woman who kills her philandering shite of a husband. I must admit, I mad much more fun writing these 2 darker pieces than something saccharine, but the subject matter (the end of the world and how we cope in our last minutes) is a bit grim for my optimistic tastes...

The @Create50 series are fantastic initiatives - cheap to enter (£5.00), for up to 3 drafts, review and feedback from peers, and as importantly, the ability to read and input and learn from other writers uploading to the site... capped off by the very real opportunity to get something made!

Even if my odd little murderers don't make it any further, it's been fantastic to be involved this far.
